In today's culture it seems that all forms of entertainment, be it movies, games or books--have to contain a fair amount of sleaze in order to sell. Recently, however, it has been noted that consumers are growing weary of all the sex, drugs and violence. It seems that stories that have real substance and genuine characters are in demand. As far as books are concerned, there definitely seems to be a movement afoot that begs for quality literature, and authors are beginning to take notice.
Taking cues from literature from the past, a few authors are stepping up to the plate and offering readers an alternative to the sex, drugs and violence that enjoyed so much popularity in current pop culture. Books from the past spoke to the heart and soul. The fine writers of days gone by expertly wove intricate tales that stimulated the mind, touched the heart and entertained the reader. Readers were left satisfied, both intellectually and emotionally.
One such author is Rudi Unterthiner. His new book, Faces, Souls, and Painted Crows is the story of a gentle man, a plastic surgeon who turns away from the glitz and glamour of a thriving Hollywood practice in order to serve the truly needy. Follow his journey of self-discovery as he recreates life in a disfigured child, and brings peace to an aging heart. In his search for his own soul, he brings calm and serenity to the souls of others. He's not perfect--far from it--yet his is a life that comes full circle to embrace humility, forgiveness and compassion.
Indeed, Faces, Souls and Painted Crows is a must read for those looking for an alternative to shallow tales fraught with sex and violence. Author Rudi Unterthiner has truly stepped up to the plate and provided a sensitive, uplifting tale that will leave the reader smiling, saying, "Yes, this is a good story, a very good story indeed."
